Using BarFly's invisible rests you can do this: X:1 T:test M:none K:C (A2x) (B2y) (c2x) (d2y)|| x is played as a rest but not printed, y is purely there to occupy some horizontal space in the staff notation (i.e. it's really a hack to get round problems occasionally created by BarFly's note spacing algorithms, but probably all staff-notation generators will need such a hack at times, albeit no two in the same places). Which you'd want depends on the context. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin * 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland tel 0131 660 4760 * fax 0870 055 4975 * http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ food intolerance data & recipes, freeware Mac logic fonts, and Scottish music To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
